Septic Systems in North Georgia

Not all septic systems are designed the same. Soil conditions, lot size, elevation changes, drainage, groundwater, slope, and county requirements all play a major role in determining which septic system is right for a property.

At Bulldog Septic, we install and service many different types of septic systems throughout North Georgia, including Alpharetta, Braselton, Buford, Commerce, Cumming, Flowery Branch, Gainesville, Hoschton, Jefferson, Milton, Sugar Hill, Winder, and surrounding communities.

Whether you are building a new home, replacing a failed drain field, upgrading an older septic system, or working with an engineered septic design, our team can help you understand the best option for your property.

Main Types of Septic Systems

Septic systems generally fall into two main categories: conventional septic systems and engineered septic systems.

Conventional systems are commonly used when soil and property conditions allow wastewater to move naturally through the septic tank and drain field. Engineered systems are used when the property has more difficult conditions, such as poor soils, steep slopes, limited space, high groundwater, shallow rock, or failed perc test results.
